FAQs for West End
What about parking in West End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to West End?
West End has its own station: Tottenham Court Road station.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Planning a van visit in West End
West End is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. From the centre of West End to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Families coming by rail can use the station: Tottenham Court Road station is in West End itself. If your residents have links with St Mary's Church, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit.
This part of Greater London takes in W1F, W1D and W1T, so your care home visit can be anywhere in it. From Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Occasions we serve in West End
The home only needs to provide a parking spot and a plan for residents’ diets.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Day centre treats
- Themed afternoons
- Visiting days
- Friday fish and chip treats
With the A301 and A400 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before booking
- Rain does not stop the fryers
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Away from bedroom windows
- A route in without tight gates
- Not blocking ambulance bays
West End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In West End, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
